Many airlines have arrangements where banks purchase the planes outright then lease them back in a long-term deal. Helps with airlines finances.

Isn’t the operator of a flight what shows up in e.g. Flightradar and also what you’d typically be most interested in, rather than the owner of the aircraft?
